Kate offered Ciel one of the sandwiches that she had bought at the cafe that they usually frequent. The young boy smiled and thanked her. However, when he tried to reach out his hand, a flash of pain appeared on his face for a brief moment before his face returned to its usual calm.
After taking the sandwich, Ciel didn't immediately eat it. Kate noticed some beads of sweat appearing on his forehead and knew that something was wrong. She was about to ask Ciel if something was bothering him when Stella interjected from within their shared mindscape.
[Switch with me for a minute.]
'Eh? Why?'
[Don't ask questions. Just switch!]
'Fine," Kate said reluctantly.
Ciel was pondering how to eat the sandwich in his hand without alarming the two girls. He didn't want Kate and Chloe to worry so he pretended that he was fine, even though his whole body was aching.
